The tech industry is undergoing a significant crisis, with over 94,000 workers laid off across 150 companies in 2025. Job openings for software developers in the U.S. have decreased by more than 70%, particularly impacting junior developers. Many are resorting to 'vibe coding,' a practice where AI is used to develop applications without learning coding skills. This trend leads to a generation of pseudo-developers who lack essential competencies. Vibe coding originates from a philosophy of focusing only on outcomes without understanding code, creating dependency on AI.
Vibe coding describes a philosophy where developers 'fully give into the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.' This approach has been misinterpreted as a valid development method.
In practice, vibe coding means using AI models to build your entire application without writing a single line of code yourself. You don't debug but keep asking the AI until it 'feels right'.
This creates what we might call 'the new tutorial hell.' Unlike traditional learning, vibe coding skips the learning process entirely, preventing skill development needed for survival.
